Joshua Russell

Joshua grew up in a log cabin built by his father, a construction worker, and raised by his mother, a waitress; on a rural 20-acre pastureland near Memphis, TN. His mother being a devout Roman Catholic, he went to private catholic schools for both elementary and high school. During his time in grade school, he participated in numerous seasonal class theater projects over the years. While at LSU, success in an elective improv acting class persuaded him to return to his former passion. However, he would leave college before participating in the theater department there. He would, instead, spend the next fifteen years waiting tables and bartending all across the United States from New England to the West Coast.
